We not only get some of those scam likely calls on our iphones, but we also get
these calls on our button phones, not our landline. Since we never answer those
calls we don't get as many as we use too. Is there any way to change it or stop
the calls?

When my paratransit provider calls, the phone will say "scam likely. The
result could be a missed ride. i can't take that chance.

I like the way this is implemented on Android somewhat better though and
for that reason I haven’t implemented it on my Iphone although I’d like to.
On Android, it doesn’t block all unknown callers but blocks those that
might have spam characteristics. I had a lot of calls in my recents on that
phone, a few of which were spam. It identified them all correctly.
But I do get some legitimate calls from people I haven’t bothered to add to
my contacts because they don’t call much, usually related to some event I’m
part of or whatever, and they’re definitely not spam. So I feel like this is
too global. Another example of calls I get are from state agencies which mask
their numbers using other numbers. No idea why, it’s totally supid, and I can
recognize them even if they’ve never used that number before, but it makes it
impossible to enter them in your contacts because they never call from the real
number.
On my Android phone, it was able to determine that these weren’t spam, but
if they were, I could make a rule for that and they’d probably all be.
So I hope that Apple will get more sophisticated about this over time
because I like the concept.

I know some have complained loudly and persistently about iOS13, but if it
added nothing but the silence unknown callers, it is completely worth it to me.
I was checking my recent calls list for a completely unrelated issue and
there was a number I did not recognize from another State. It happened at a
time I was using Voice Dream Reader and I had no idea a call had happened.
They didn’t leave a voice mail, so as I do with such things, I blocked the
number.
But, I did not get interrupted, which is fabulous in my book.
I have received an increasing number of robo calls in the last 6 months, so
this is worth any other issues to me.
Just my 2¢ worth.
Richard
